• After one month with playing with Performance Plugins, honestly, the default Page Optimize from Automattic (for aggregating CSS) with Jetpack Boost (for deferring JS) are the best free combination.

    The way it handles Defer Non-Essential JavaScript is wonderful.

    I’m not mentioning other features (CDN, Lazy Image, ..) as I’m hosting with WordPress.com and they are already available. I haven’t got good results from Optimize Critical CSS feature though. But I don’t need it as I’m using Page Optimize for aggregating CSS. I summarize my experience with this plugin and similars on: https://mohamadkarbi.com/why-i-host-with-wordpress/
